In comparison to previous website applications, the current web scene is more dynamic than ever. The gauge is designed through the use of ASP.NET which displays visual data that is intuitive as it is interactive to the user. Gauges are now also being used to determine data on a computer program or network scale. These gauges act as "monitors" of the stored data, which the digital dashboard compiles in a panel. These digital dashboards then act as the one stop center for all the compiled data, visually presented as such. The data analysts could then use the dashboards to collect specific data and create reports based on those data.

Of course not all gauges are created equal. Some of these digital dashboard gauges consist of several designs using different programming languages. Programming languages act as "scripts" for a computer to follow. Basically computer programmers type them in a way that computers could understand and execute several commands. They are used in a variety of applications on the web, making up for rich and varied content. ASP.NET is one of them.

ASP.NET is the successor to Microsoft's ASP web technology. Translated as Active Server Page.NET, it uses the .NET framework also created by Microsoft. This allows for even more variety to the data visualization experience. It also supports other programming languages such as C# and C++. Being a Microsoft "invention", and could also be run on other Microsoft web development packages susch as Visual Studio. One should note however that it does not have backward compatibility with ASP, but it can work alongside it.

Being a new version of ASP, ASP.NET allows more freedom for programmers to create even more dynamic gauge presentations. Manipulating the programming language within the ASP.NET framework gives rise to different shapes, colors and textures on the resulting dashboard gauge. Aside from this, it also allows for a "preview" what the end result would look like. This type of "previewing" is called as WSYIWG or What You See Is What You Get. On the upside, the developer has control over the end product, but some WSYIWYG versions need expert knowledge on markup language to get it to work effectively.

ASP.NET gauges could then have the distinct advantage of being edited immediately if the preview isn't to the developer's liking. It allows for easy monitoring on the data visualization part, to see if the components are readable and understandable. Then it also allows for easy exporting of files across different programming suites that support the framework. One would not need a lot of different software packages in order to create one gauge specific to a dashboard. In this sense, a company choosing the right programming language package also saves a lot of money for their other needs.

There are a lot of available suites on the market that caters to a company's specific data management and data visualization needs. These suites are tailored to fit all types of budgets and come bundled with features. They are not created equal of course, and programmers have their own preferences when it comes to their suite of choice. Also, there are other available suites on the market using different programming languages as their base. Programmers could also opt to use the programming language that they feel suits them best.
